Peter Hammill - "One thing at a time" lyrics

USHER MONTRESOR I didn't mean to interrupt... Montresor, you came! Did you think I'd ignore your letter? Montresor, you're here! Come let me help you with your coat. Sit down and rest yourself. Oh, it's so good to see you here! Now tell me all your news... I see you've changed a bit, my friend... Now won't you have a drink... Yes, yes but one thing at a time! First you must tell me what... But I expect I too have changed. How many years could it be now since last we said farewell? It must be ten years since our last meeting, Yes, it must be ten years since our last meeting since our last meeting. Tell me what is wrong? Your letter spoke of a malady; some desperate trial you could not face alone... Oh, no, you tell me all your doings! Tell me. Tell me how you pa** your days how you pa** your days Tell me from the beginning. from the beginning Tell me everything everything that's happened since we went our since we went our separate ways. separate ways. Look at me... I have not left these walls these three years, I do not dare to do so! I am imprisoned and fear is my gaoler. Each word I speak seems too dangerous. My slightest act could bring about the very thing I fear But fear of what? Hush, and I shall tell you... tell you...
